Just 24% approve of Dalton McGuinty’s Leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party.

43% of Ontarians and 39% of Liberals want the Ontario Liberal Party to hold a leadership convention within the next year.

Kathleen Wynne leads pack of potential successors with 24% among those with an opinion, compared to 20% for George Smitherman and 18% for Dwight Duncan.

The poll was conducted by Forum Research Inc. for Broadview Strategy Group on September 14, 2012. A total of 1058 Ontarians 18 years of age and older were randomly interviewed by Interactive Voice Response (IVR). A probability sample of this size has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%, 19 out of 20 times.

“These results represent a significant shift in support for both the NDP and the Liberals since the last election campaign and the desire for the Ontario Liberal Party to conduct a leadership convention to replace Premier McGuinty is all the more serious as party delegates prepare to vote on that very question at the end of this month in Ottawa.” Said John Laforet, Principal of Broadview Strategy Group.
